FROM MOURNING TO RESISTANCE!
3 YEARS TOO MANY - STOP THE WAR!
The National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance is organizing From Mourning to Resistance, a March to the Pentagon on Monday, March 20 that will culminate in nonviolent direct action. It will begin with a 9 AM gathering near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The March bearing a coffin covered with names of the dead will step off at 10 AM and cross the Memorial Bridge and proceed to LBJ Memorial Grove adjacent to the Pentagon, from where nonviolent actions will commence. NCNR is inviting marchers from various antiwar groups to represent a broad spectrum of communities around the country. The march is permitted, but some participants will risk arrest by trying to deliver the coffin to Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld or undertaking other nonviolent civil resistance actions.
Location:
March begins near Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Henry Bacon Drive & Constitution Avenue, Washington, D.C.
